MS Word Filler

Hi,

I have a requirement wherin we have to populate the fileds on a word document with the metadata in the repository. I found the MSWordFiller on the Component Exchange.

I am extending my checkoutcontainer to call this SBO in the onInit method in the container.

I depolyed the SBO as is just to test how it works (CS is 6.5 SP1 Webtop 6.1 SP1).

Below is my onInit method in the checkoutcontainer.

public void onInit(ArgumentList args)
        {
            IDfClientX clientx = new DfClientX();
            IDfClient localClient = null;
            IDfSession idfsession = getDfSession();
            IDfSessionManager idfsessionmanager = idfsession.getSessionManager();
            try {
                String strDocbaseName = idfsession.getDocbaseName();
                localClient = clientx.getLocalClient();
                String strWordFiller=IWordDocumentFiller.class.getName();

                 IWordDocumentFiller wordFiller = (IWordDocumentFiller)localClient.newService(strWordFiller,idfsessionmanager);
                wordFiller.fillTextField(strDocbaseName, new DfId ("0904224180013d9d"),"mytest","Surya",false);

            }
            catch (DfException e)             {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            super.onInit(args);
            initContainedComponents();
            tryCommitChanges();

}

I am receiving the below error message, when I checkout a document:

Please let me know if the implementation is correct, also please advice if anyone has implemented such functionality using WordFiller SBO.

Thanks,

I have a standalone program, which calls the SBO and it works fine. I passed some hardcoded values for the object ID and the values and it updated the document with the values I provided.

still wondering .................................................

Surya

The issue got resolved:

Instead of getting the service name using:

String strWordFiller=IWordDocumentFiller.class.getName();

I hardcoded the Interface name in the code:

IWordDocumentFiller wordFiller = (IWordDocumentFiller)localClient.newService("com/documentum/docfillers/IWordDocumentFiller",idfsessionmanager);

It works fine now. Not sure though what the problem was ...................

Thanks,

Surya

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion.

You could also have a look at our OFCbridge at http://www.btmsoftware.eu/en/products.php, it not only updates the field in the Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) file but can also update the Documentum properties of the object from these fields.

My 2 cents.

Surya

Can we download it for Free!!!!

Francois Dauberlieu

You can download a fully functional 30 days eval period but the product is not free. For pricing information, ask in the contact form on our site

If it's a free product you're looking for, then I guees no point for me to send you the download URL (just saw you asked for it). Let me know

Surya

Please send me the pricing details, I will send it across to my manager and leave it to him to decide.

Francois Dauberlieu

Now, I think that would be a bit too much self promotion. Also, I'm a techy in the company and as such, I steer clear from the the money's .

To get pricing information, please, use the contact form on our Web site (Mention that we've been in touch on the EDN)

Hi all,

I managed this example to work, but I have problems with wild characters, space and numbers, instead of them I get questionmarks (?). Those MergeFields that contain text with no space, wild character or number is ok, such as "Test". If I populate it with "Test1" it shows "Test??".

I have to mention that I invoke this class through method in workflow created in Process Builder, and I populate MergeFields with custom Process Variables.

Is it problem the class, or the MergeFields or the workflow process variables?

Please help me, give me your opinion/advice.

Thank you in advance.

Regards
